Paragraph 2 I1F1
Northern Ireland
Subject to sub-paragraph (3), where a person wishes to make a surrender he may within the relevant period notify the Committee in writing of his wish to surrender a part of that retirement pension.
In sub-paragraph (1) “the relevant period” in relation to a member or former member, means—
in the case of a person who on ceasing to hold his employment becomes entitled to a retirement pension (in this Schedule referred to as “a retiring employee”) not more than two months before or within one month after the date on which he ceases to be employed; and
in the case of a person who would, if he were to retire from his employment, become entitled to a retirement pension (in this Schedule referred to as “a continuing employee”), within two months before or at any time after becoming a continuing employee and while he is still employed.
Where the Committee is satisfied that it has not been reasonably practicable for a retiring employee to notify his wish to surrender a part of a retirement pension within the relevant period owing to circumstances beyond his control, it may extend that period to a date not more than six months after the date on which he ceases to be employed.
